lic understanding of amusement ma­

A King’s Horses machine was given
away at the 1934 Coin Machine Ex­
position by the Ad-Lee Company,
manufacturers, at their booth. The
drawing took place on the last day
of the show and M. J. Houston, op­
erator from Garden City, Mo., was
the “lucky guy.” A letter received
by the Ad-Lee Company from Mr,
Houston, reads as follows: “Like
Brother Crawford’s wife, my wife was
very unhappy when I went to the
convention without her, but after I
showed her my luck she became very
happy. If King’s Horses is as good
as I believe it is we can use about
50 machines.”

A report that the National Auto­
matic Distributors’ Association had
merged with the Metropolitan Job­
bers’ Association has been denied. A
report to the effect that they had
merged appears in this issue and was
printed before it was learned that the
report was not true. It is learned,
however, that the two associations
have pledged close co-operation with
each other in order to solve problems
in the New York territory.
Plans were discussed at the Expo­
sition for receiving closer co-opera­
tion from the manufacturers in solv­
ing distribution problems throughout
the country.
